the two strings you left out in your quote are key.
- dozens if not hundred packages are actually prevented from being installed.
- it's the least possible (in the sense of atomic) amount of action necessary to fix this

esp. the first fact is just a hard fact. it's not important who is to blame, it's just the reality. ignoring reality generally is the worst thing you can do...

ok, jsut fair, if you don't want to maintain it, that's your decision.
the necessity still persists, so given the scope mentioned above it will be another one's task.
